. If other scientists hate us because they had problems with vectors and basic Physics I? Haters gonna hate! Oh well! I think people hate their physics teachers because a lot of physics teachers wholeheartedly believe in sink or swim in introductory physics, which a lot of whiny bitches cannot handle. I myself have seen both sides of the issue, and I think a coddling demeanor should be adopted for some people and not for others. This is why I have always liked schools calculus-based and non-calculus based physics approach.

honestly I have never come across a physics professor who is worth his/her salt. Don't get me wrong, I am sure they are brilliant, but have absolutely zero business teaching anybody. I did well in the classes, but they are horrible. This goes for the entire physics department at my school. They are also deffinetly elitist. I had a friend of mine majoring in Physics, and when she went to the department head about trying to dual major in Physics and Mechanical Engineering, they gave her a ton of grief over it and wouldn't let her. After continuing to try and get permission to do this (from above there head, I guess) they dropped her from the program and she just switched to engineering.
I have never had a good experience with a physics department any school I have attended, or heard a good experience from other students at other schools.
All that, I am not taking anything away from there brilliance, like I said before I know they are all very well educated and intelligent people. Nearly all of them have a doctorate in physics, or a similar field, but they all have a huge ego, and several other things I dont like about them, but I guess I shouldn't generalize.
On a side note, most professors I have come across who teach engineering are great people, and the people I have gotten the opportunity to work with in the engineering field are great, and exactly the opposite experience I had with the physics folk.
